Except you have to work at it.
Hi.
She quotes one woman who says that in her opinion "feminism represents the best of what it means to be human. Anybody can be a feminist, except you have to work at it. Basically, to me, it is the belief that everybody should have the opportunity to be the best that they can be and we ought to have a world that encourages that."
I can't understand the meaning of the underlined part. Would you please explain it?
